Due to the good biocompatibility, ease of modification and unique optical properties, gold
nanorods (AuNRs) have attracted more and more attentions in biomedical fields. In …

There is a strong correlation between the surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)
enhancement factor (EF), the excitation wavelength and the feature properties (composition …

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering technology plays a prominent role in spectroscopy. By
introducing plasmonic metals and photonic crystals as a substrate, SERS signals can …

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) with near-infrared (NIR) excitation offers a safe
way for the detection and study of fragile biomolecules. In this work, we present the …

Thin films of photonic crystals with inverse opal structure were prepared from opal-type
templates by photocurable resin polymerization, and methylene blue dye was embedded …

Porous silicon, being one of the most popular SERS-active substrates, was in this work
utilized for near-infrared 1064 nm excitation which minimizes the radiation-induced …

For routine laboratory practice, surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectroscopy
must be simple, inexpensive, stable for a long time, and reproducible. In this study, we mixed …
